India's ED seizes ₹2.85 crore in assets from former NHAI official over alleged corruption.

The Enforcement Directorate has attached Rs 2.85 crore in assets belonging to Prabhanshu Shekhar, former NHAI Deputy General Manager in Patna, in a disproportionate assets case. The assets, including property in Bihar and Delhi, jewellery, bank balances, and insurance investments, were seized under the PMLA. The ED alleges Shekhar, during his 2016–2022 tenure, gained illegally through inflated bills, falsified measurements, and overlooking sub-standard materials used by contractor Ashoka Buildcon. Proceeds were funneled into family accounts and used for personal expenses and asset purchases, with total disproportionate assets amounting to Rs 4.07 crore.
